Reviews and Ratings
This hotel was a gem just on the outskirts of Gaeta, in a large and pretty area. The rooms were spacious and kept immaculately clean, with all the necessary facilities and a nice bathroom. The service was outstanding, offering a range of amenities like room service, housekeeping, and even a welcome drink. The location was perfect, especially for enjoying the platform overlooking a rocky water area. However, the dining experience, particularly for curry enthusiasts, left something to be desired. Still, the overall value for money was excellent.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying its ideal location near the coast and well-kept rooms. The attentive staff made my experience even better. Despite some dining limitations, the overall value for money was great.
A wonderful location next to the sea and surrounded by a charming area with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The dining experience could be improved, and additional fees for Wi-Fi might be a downside.
